So, I realized that it has been over a month since I last posted on my blog. Which is unfortunate, since I've done a lot since my last post. Hopefully, I will be able to post some pictures when I attempt to turn on my labtop with tape and luck (Evita, my roommate, can explain that one to you).
I don't really feel like blogging about my travels without the pictures (although my words are awesome by themselves :D) or deep contemplation about life in Madrid since I'm in denial about how much time I actually have, so I'll give you an idea of a typical Monday/Wednesday of Susan's life in Madrid.
7:50am - alarm goes off, dream about getting out of bed
8am - actually get out of bed (that's right - I need a full 10 minutes to muster up enough will power to get out of bed)
8:30am - walk to school, which includes admiring the green leaves that give off the feeling of spring (I no longer have to look at naked trees), looking at the ugly dogs, avoiding cars, and getting the free newspaper at Nuevos Ministerios to "practice" my Spanish (I get celebrity gossip from the newspaper)
9am - school
10:45am to 1:30pm - intern at the Fulbright office (prepare for papercuts and looks of confusion at Spanish instructions!)
2pm to 5:20pm - school
5:30pm - moment of peace and massive intake of sugar to prepare being...
5:32pm - terrorized by a 7 and 4 year old who can speak more than 1 language and like to take advantage of the fact that they speak better Spanish than you. In fact, the 7 year old is trilingual, while the 4 year old like to speak Spanglish. They also like to climb on your body parts, but that's another story.
7:30pm - freedom! and walking back home for dinner
Pretty simple life, but I'm a pretty simple person. This is my final week of classes (final week!) but this is what a part of my week has been like since February. Once again, I can't believe that my time in Madrid is finally coming to an end. Before you know it, I will have graduated from college (but I don't want to think that far).
Hopefully I will have some pictures up by the end of this week!
Susan
